Description

This sundial, located approximately 17 meters north of St. Barnabas Church, is possibly a 15th-century cross that was dated 1730. It is made of stone and features two square steps and a base, a tapered shaft, and a square cap with cyma moulding. The inscription on the sundial records the church wardens and the date, although it has become worn over time.
